Two Teams Disqualified From 2017 CrossFit Games for Failed Drug Tests

We mentioned earlier this afternoon that Ryan Elrod failed a drug test. Now news has come out that two teams will also be banned from the 2017 CrossFit Games.

CrossFit Marysville and Bear Republic CrossFit will miss the Games after a member of their team failed a drug test at the conclusion of the regional competition. Nick Thomas of CrossFit Marysville tested positive for ostarine while OJ Washington of Bear Republic CrossFit tested positive for methylhexaneamine.

Washington took to social media and said that he took an over-the-counter pre-workout supplement that contained the banned substance on the Friday of regional competition.
